When using someone else's machine, it's polite to use the command nice and renice.
Nice changes the priority of a task. When using another machine, you want to set your task to a lower priority as to not interfere with the user's tasks. Priority ranges from -20 (highest) to 20 (lowest).
nice [options] [command]
Example:
nice -19 ~/run.py
In this example, -19 would be a low priority and --19 would be a high priority.
